2023 Maison Lou Dumont Marsannay Blanc

Shifting to white, this Chardonnay from Marsannay's cool clays shines with Lou Dumont's terroir focus. Golden apple, white peach, and citrus zest aromas mingle with flinty minerality and subtle hazelnut oak. Crisp acidity drives a full yet poised palate, with creamy texture from lees aging and balanced fruit purity. Organic farming and native yeasts yield vibrancy and precision. Pairs ideally with seafood, poultry, or creamy cheeses; enjoy young for freshness or cellar 5-10 years for nutty depth. A rare gem highlighting Marsannay's rising white star.
